  virtual BOOL DestroyWindow();
 
  Remarks
 
  Destroys the Windows window attached to CWnd. The DestroyWindow member
  function sends appropriate messages to CWnd to deactivate it and remove
  the input focus. It also destroys the CWnd menu, flushes the application
  queue, destroys outstanding timers, removes Clipboard ownership, and
  breaks the Clipboard-viewer chain if CWnd is at the top of the viewer
  chain. It sends ◄WM_DESTROY► and ◄WM_NCDESTROY► messages to the window.
  It does not destroy the CWnd object.
 
  If CWnd is the parent of any windows, these child windows are
  automatically destroyed when the parent window is destroyed. The
  DestroyWindow member function destroys child windows first, and then
  CWnd itself.
 
  The DestroyWindow member function also destroys modeless dialog boxes
  created by the ◄CreateDialog► Windows function.
 
  If the CWnd being destroyed is a child window and does not have the
  ◄WS_NOPARENTNOTIFY► style set, then the ◄WM_PARENTNOTIFY► message is
  sent to the parent.
 
  Return Value
 
  Specifies whether the window is destroyed. It is TRUE if the window is
  destroyed; otherwise FALSE.
